Immortality begins with inheriting the myriad arts of cultivation.

Chapter 251 Yunzhi Returns Home

"Immortality Begins with Inheriting the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation" - Stunning writing style and a thrilling plot!

Li Ping was undergoing arduous self-cultivation.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

After several years, Xiao Yunzhi, who had gone to the icy sea to search for the millennium-old ice jade, finally returned safely to Flying Snow City.

The first thing she did upon returning to Flying Snow City was to find Shi Yutong and hand in the quest.

Shi Yutong asked her to do three things.

The first thing I hope she can investigate the reason for Master Muyun's demise.

Xiao Yunzhi had already learned from Gaoji Daoist that the Barbarian Bone Tribe's reckless attack on Silver Moon City, the destruction of Silver Moon City, and the fall of two Core Formation True Persons were actually caused by a mysterious Nascent Soul cultivator.

Since it involves Nascent Soul cultivators, it's clearly not something she can continue investigating.

Therefore, she could only tell Shi Yutong everything that Gaoji Daoist had said.

Upon hearing that her father's death was suspected to be related to a Nascent Soul cultivator, Shi Yutong remained silent for a long time, but in the end, she only let out a heavy sigh and said nothing.

Xiao Yunzhi understood her feelings.

Even if the remaining seven major cities in the far north joined forces, they couldn't deal with a Nascent Soul cultivator. What could she possibly do?

Shi Yutong could only bury her hatred deep inside and lead the Flying Snow Sect forward.

Perhaps, in the future, she herself will become a Nascent Soul expert, and only then will she reinvestigate this matter.

Second thing.

Shi Yutong hopes to obtain a piece of thousand-year-old ice jade.

With the help of the Earth Spirit Rat and the guidance of Gaoji Daoist, Xiao Yunzhi successfully found more than one piece of thousand-year-old ice jade.

Now, standing before Shi Yutong, she took out a palm-sized jade box from her storage bag and smiled, "This is the Thousand-Year Ice Jade that Sect Leader Shi requested. Please take a look."

Shi Yutong respectfully replied, "Senior Xiao, I apologize for my offense."

After saying that, she carefully picked up the jade box, removed the sealing talisman on its surface, and opened the jade box with a "click".

The moment the jade box was opened, a chill emanated from it, instantly lowering the temperature inside the room, and in the blink of an eye, a layer of frost covered everything in the room.

After careful examination, Shi Yutong finally showed a satisfied expression and respectfully said, "Senior Xiao, the piece you brought out is indeed a thousand-year-old ice jade. I am extremely grateful."

"There's no need for gratitude or anything like that; this is simply a transaction between us," Xiao Yunzhi said with a smile and a nod.

Then, she brought up the third matter: Shi Yutong asked her to kill Long Jie, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Buyun Sect.

Before the New Year, after Xiao Yunzhi obtained the ten-thousand-year-old cold jade hidden by Gaoji Daoist, she returned directly to the mainland and went to Buyun Sect to find Long Jie.

To her surprise, according to the information from the Buyun Sect cultivators, Long Jie's life tablet left in the sect had already shattered during the beast tide.

In other words, Long Jie had already died.

Therefore, she had no choice but to return to the Flying Snow Sect and tell Shi Yutong the message in person.

"They died during the beast tide?" Shi Yutong was clearly taken aback when she heard this.

Because the period of the Ice Sea Beast Tide also coincided with the outbreak of the Snowflake City Rebellion.

In the critical moment, Master Qianxue captured the looting rogue cultivators in one fell swoop and quelled the chaos.

Afterwards, through some interrogation, she learned from those rogue cultivators that Long Jie was behind both the destruction of the sect's protective formation and the influx of rogue cultivators into the Flying Snow Sect.

Since Long Jie did not appear on the main battlefield that day, she easily deduced that Long Jie's target was the sect's inherited spiritual artifact, and that Lei Shi also died at Long Jie's hands.

Out of intense hatred, she begged Xiao Yunzhi to kill Long Jie!

But unexpectedly, Long Jie had already died on the day of the civil war in Flying Snow City.

"Who killed Long Jie? Or did he die in the mouth of a monster or alien race?" Many thoughts flashed through Shi Yutong's mind, but in the end, she came up with nothing.

After all, she had very little information.

Xiao Yunzhi smiled and said, "I did not contribute anything to Long Jie's death, so if Sect Leader Shi has any needs, I can do one more thing for Feixue City."

"Absolutely not!" Upon hearing this, Shi Yutong quickly shook her head and solemnly said, "Master Xiao, you personally went to Buyun Sect to find out about Long Jie's death, which already fulfills your promise. How could Yutong dare to ask Master Xiao to do anything else? From now on, Master Xiao owes Feixue City no more favors!"

Xiao Yunzhi glanced at her, then shook her head slightly: "How could I take advantage of you?"

Having said that, before Shi Yutong could speak again, she took out a piece of millennium-old ice jade from her storage bag: "During this trip to the Ice Sea, I was quite lucky and found more than one piece of millennium-old ice jade. I will give this piece of millennium-old ice jade to Sect Leader Shi as payment for the third matter, how about that?"

Shi Yutong quickly declined, but Xiao Yunzhi's attitude was extremely firm, and in the end she had no choice but to accept the second piece of millennium ice jade.

……

Changpingfang Cave.

Xiao Yunzhi took out the cave array token, activated the array directly, and walked in as if she were going home.

In fact, this is indeed her home, her home with Li Ping!

However, Xiao Yunzhi rejected his suggestion. She took out several kinds of precious spiritual fruits from her storage bag: "Brother Li, I have had a good harvest in the icy sea. I have picked quite a few precious spiritual fruits. Please have some!"

Standing in the pavilion, seeing the vibrant spiritual object that Xiao Yunzhi had placed on the table, Li Ping couldn't help but smile slightly. He had already guessed whose contribution it was.

Sure enough, the next moment, Xiao Yunzhi smiled and said, "Speaking of which, if it weren't for Brother Li lending me the Earth Spirit Rat, I probably wouldn't have had such a smooth trip, and I wouldn't have been able to find these spiritual fruits."

In fact, without the Earth Spirit Rat, she would never have discovered the boulders where Gaoji Daoist was hiding.

In this way, the opportunities to obtain the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade and the Sun and Moon Ring magic treasures would naturally be lost.

It's fair to say that the mouse made a great contribution on this trip.

As she spoke, Xiao Yunzhi took off the spirit beast pouch from her waist and handed it to Li Ping, jokingly saying, "I'm reluctant to return the Earth Spirit Rat to Brother Li."

Li Ping unceremoniously reached out and took the spirit beast pouch that Xiao Yunzhi handed him.

Playing around is one thing, laughing around is another, but it's impossible for Xiao Yunzhi to get his spirit beast.

"go!"

Li Ping gently patted the spirit beast pouch, summoning the earth spirit rat. After feeding it a beast-feeding pill, he allowed it to roam freely in the courtyard.

Only after he had done all this did he sit down opposite Xiao Yunzhi.

While enjoying the delicious spiritual fruit, I listened to her describe her experiences over the years.

Facing Li Ping, Xiao Yunzhi naturally wouldn't hide anything.

She told Li Ping everything, from the Gaoji Daoist in the medullary sphere and the traces of the Nascent Soul cultivator to the plan to refine the Sun and Moon Ring from the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade.

What puzzled Xiao Yunzhi was that everything else was fine, but when Li Ping heard Gaoji Daoren's Daoist name, his expression became extremely strange: "Yunzhi, you said that ancient cultivator from the Tianqiao Sect was named Gaoji Daoren?"

The Tianqiao Sect excels at making puppets; if we were to draw an analogy to Earth in the past, they would be like a company that makes robots.

So it's understandable that he calls himself a tech expert, but isn't this title a bit too ahead of its time?

Fortunately, after Xiao Yunzhi took the initiative to explain, he finally understood that the ancient cultivator of Tianqiao Sect was Gaoji Daoren, not Gaoji Daoren.

What is Gaoji?

Pearls on the riverbank!

Li Ping nodded slightly: "So, Yunzhi, you made a vow of your Dao heart, promising to do everything in your power to kill the ice dragon in the Ice Sea, and that Daoist Gaoji gave you a piece of ten-thousand-year-old cold jade, as well as the method to refine the magic weapon 'Sun and Moon Ring'?"

"Yes, Brother Li." Xiao Yunzhi nodded.

Li Ping objectively commented: "This deal is fairly fair."

Ten-thousand-year-old cold jade is a top-tier spiritual material in the cultivation world, so much so that even Nascent Soul cultivators would fight over it if they encountered it. The power of the Sun and Moon Ring magic weapon, crafted from this material in conjunction with ten-thousand-year-old fiery crystal, is unimaginable.

Xiao Yunzhi took out an advance payment and then repaid the loan. The price she paid for the time being was merely a promise.

"By the way, Brother Li, I know you've been searching for the Heavenly Skill Sect's divine sense cultivation method. Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Gaoji has the complete 'Myriad Spirits Divine Art' in his possession." Xiao Yunzhi said, her face showing joy, "Brother Li, you can finally get what you want."

Having finished discussing their private matters, Xiao Yunzhi took out the boulders where Gaoji Daoist was hiding from her storage bag and placed them on the table.

She smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Gaoji, this is the Fellow Daoist Li I told you about. He is the one who needs the entire 'Myriad Spirits Divine Technique'."

Sensing Xiao Yunzhi's high regard for Li Ping, Gaoji Daoist was very accommodating and did not address Li Ping as a junior. Instead, he said stiffly, "If I am not mistaken, Fellow Daoist Li has already cultivated the first level of the 'Myriad Spirits Divine Technique'."

Li Ping learned from Xiao Yunzhi that Gaoji Daoist's remnant soul was hidden inside the gray sphere. Upon hearing the voice, he smiled and said, "Senior is right. This junior has indeed cultivated this technique."

"It seems Fellow Daoist Li, you have quite a bit of talent. The 'Myriad Spirits Divine Art' is not something every cultivator can practice. If one doesn't have talent... wait, that second-tier high-grade puppet in the courtyard, did you make it?" Gaoji Daoist's voice was full of surprise.

He could tell at a glance that the seemingly ordinary puppet that Li Ping was using as a servant was actually a second-tier high-grade puppet with combat power comparable to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

As a Core Formation cultivator, a third-tier puppet master, and having lived for over a thousand years in a remnant soul state, Gaoji Daoist was well aware of just how difficult it was to refine a second-tier high-grade puppet.

In fact, even a thousand years ago, the Tianqiao Sect didn't have many puppeteers who could craft second-tier high-grade puppets.

He never expected that, a thousand years after the destruction of the Tianqiao Sect, there would be someone else besides him who could recreate the second-tier high-grade puppet of the Tianqiao Sect.

"The puppet-making technique is a closely guarded secret of the sect. Could it be that, besides myself, there were other fellow disciples who survived and passed on the puppetry skills?" Gaoji Daoist wondered silently.

Upon hearing Gaoji Zhenren's question, Li Ping made no attempt to conceal anything.

After all, even if Gaoji Zhenren was a Core Formation cultivator in his previous life, in his remnant soul state, he couldn't cause any trouble at all; he could be destroyed with a wave of his hand.

He smiled and nodded: "Senior guessed correctly, this puppet was indeed made by my own hands."
